    I do agree the removal of evade was completely uneeded and that it cut a buch of fun regarding playing PGL.

    But i'm liking this...they are mainly rolling back 1.19, which is great IMO. Very few of the 1.19 changes were actually good.

    Eh? You can still evade mob WSes. Try it for yourself. Fight a Puk, get it to do Backflip or Tail Chase, throw on Featherfoot. You'll see Featherfoot work if the Evasion up icon in your buffs/debuffs list at the top of the screen disappear.

    And as much as I dislike some of the 1.19 changes (Favored vs Required levels of equipment, etc), I don't think ALL of the changes need to be rolled back - just the ones that made no sense such as this action queue "nerf". 1.19 laid down the foundation for what will be 2.0, so we need to cut them some slack as they figure things out and break/unbreak things in the process.

    Uh...what?

    Removing Evade in favor of everything counting as a Miss = amazing. Pugilists can throw out counters like never before.

    Essentially this, I went from not being able to use counters terribly regularly to using them almost exclusively. Like my DOT from spamming these out does saving up for higher abilities. This also made the way concussive and light strike work actually assist in the process of evading.

    That said queing was bad when you had standard attacks up because trying to get the next on of those off by spamming meant you would miss evade times etc because you know spam that light/heavy strike. I still think ill play with que off- at least after the first time I have a que tp action and then suddenly need second wind very fast.

    I do miss the special laugh from evade but alas (add it to haymaker/simian etc?).
